Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My New Year challenge has been set.......Grade one on a musical instrument of my choice that I have never played before. I will have just one group lesson followed by 8 weeks of hard practice (much to the delight of my daughters!) I have chosen the flute.

It's all part of a larger event aimed at raising money for the Spinal Injuries Association. I'm going to let it speak for itself through the words of Guy Llewellyn on the SIA website (www.spinal.co.uk/page/GOAT):

"My name is Guy Llewellyn and it is quite possible that you may know me as a horn player living, working, teaching and playing in Cambridgeshire. So why am I writing to you to invite you to a challenge? Well, in June 2010 the biggest challenge of my life commenced when I damaged my spine in a fall at home. This unfortunately, left me paralysed from the waist down and I have recently undergone rehabilitation at the amazing Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The skills I need to return to normal life are supported by the staff and charities that work here and believe me, these people are incredibly dedicated. Many musical friends of mine have asked how they might be able to help and it has been decided to repeat the successful fund raising Grade-one-athon that I participated in myself in 2004. The funds raised by this event will be donated to the Spinal Injuries Association, who are here on the frontline, supporting and encouraging patients through their rehabilitation 

Spinal Injuries Association is delighted to have been chosen as beneficiary of the upcoming challenge Grade - One - A - Thon."

Thank you for your support, any donation however small will go to a truely worthwhile cause very close to my heart.

Best wishes
